Where the Democrats Look for Assistance
In Their Anti-TarfR Campaign.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WAsHrNGToN. Dec 9-There is just one hops
for the tariff reformers in Congress, and that
hope lies in the assistance Of number OF West
e-n and Northwestern Republicans who want
changes in the tariff. The followers Of Mr..
Randall, who sternly oppose a reform of the
tariff, are numerous and as potent they ever
were But there is Disgusting the fact that
there are quite mum Der of Republican members
from Iowa. Nebraska, Minnesota, and one or
two other prairie States who willing to assist
in reducing the tariff. But. inasmuch the
administration las determined to have free
wool, it may he that these Republicans will not
favor any kind OK measure that may bs

from Ohio will refuse TO vote for bill in which
is free wool The tariff reformers will also

FREDERICK WILLIAM.

The Physicians Have Not Changed Their
Opinion-Lerrer from the Stricken Prince.
BERLIN Dec g. lit is reliably stated that the
physicians who conducted the examination of
the diseased part of the Grown Princes throat
have not, as previously reported. changed their
original opinions regarding the nature of the
malady The statement that any of them en-
tertain optimistic views with regard to the ulti-
mate recovery of the patient is entirely without
foundation.
Crown Prince Frederick William. in a letter
dated Dec 4, writes from San Reno that the
Inflammation and other dangerous symptoms of
his disease have subsided under treatment, and
that his general physical health has all along
been excellent. He has never he says. at any
time lost strength His appetite is, and
has been good. and his appearance
is that of 3 person in perfect health.
He purpoaely communicates these details for
the reason that exaggerated accounts of his
condition have been circulated. He has full
confidence IN his physicians. in spite of the at
tacks made upon them by newspapers and 9TH
ers. and expresses the hol.e that he may. per-
haps, after long and careful treatment, be able
to again devote himself to the fatherland.

Washington Special.
Joe" Manley, of Maine, one OF Blaines clos
est friends, who is here has this to say OF the
relations of Mr.. Blaine to the Republican presi-
Dental nomination: Mr.. Manley was asked if
the interview with Mr.. Blaine cabied from
T aris was to be regarded as an announcement
that he is O candidate. Mr.. Manley said that
the interview did not indicate that; that it
showed simply that Mr.. Blaine is an enthusiast
in the cause OF protection, and cannot keep
silent under what sesmed to him such great
provocation; that Mr.. Blaine does not care for
the nomination.; that every member OF his fam
lily objects to his acceptance of a nominate on:
that Mr.. Blaine could add nothing to his fame
by being President; that he has means enough
to live comfortably. is contented, and is busy
with things that interest him; that he could get
no rest in the presidency; that, on the contrary.
he would be ''hauled about" by the thousands
whom he knows and tnat he would not look
forward to another candidacy with any degree
of pleasure Mr.. Manley was asked If it
probable that Mr.. Blaine would announce that
Re was not in the field and make way for other
combinations. He replied that Mr.. Blaine's
friends have insisted that he ought not TO do
that; that it might iniure the party and create
lican success doubtful, and that 1t was his duty
to the party to keep silent on the subject, and
to accept the nomination il il should be rendered
to him. Mr.. Manley of the opinion that
Mr. Blaine would accept the nomination II the
convention should tender il to him.

Money That Grevy Saved.

Paris Dispatch in London Daily telegraph.
Economists are amusing themselves just now
with calculations as to NJ. jules Grevy's savings
during his tenure of Office as head of the state.
The figures brought forward show that the '.old
Jurassien" must have feathered his nest very
nicely and that. with the natural instinct of the
French peasant, he must have filled many a
'long stocking" with his pay and his perquisites.
His expenses amounted to an average Of ESQ
per month, that he had clear 966 000f, or
SIS, $40 at the end of the year. The state paid
for the warming, cleaning and repairs of his
dwellings, well as for the expenses connected
with the useful work of The blanchsseuses de
gros and de fin who looked after the presidential
linen and bleached the presidential table
cloths. 1t was the generous state, too,
which paid nearly $4,000 for the Installation
of ''son-in-iaw Daniels" Offices and secretaries
at the Elysee. aud, as the economists and calcu-
lators remark with sIghs and groans it is proba-
bly, the state which will have to nay for Dam
ieis Encouragement" from the EIysee and the
Installation of his bureaucratic and domestic
accessories in the magnificent mansion which he
is to inhabit in the Avenue de jena. 1t will thus
be seen that. il NJ Grevy did not spend with the
lavish munifcence of parvenu or nouveau
richie, be was not deeply imbued with a demo
cratic disdain for bullion.
